Promotion of Etika

Congratulations, PantheonRadiance! The article you nominated, Etika, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best articles on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured article. Keep up the great work! Cheers, David Fuchs (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bravo! Panini! • 🥪 16:34, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, at this point, you're probably Etika's greatest fan, ever. Your love for the guy and the efforts you took to honor him are incredible. Thank you and congratulations for taking his article to GA and FA first try, the balls you got are really insane. I hope your efforts aren't a one-hit wonder, you have much more potential in you. By the way, have you considered yourself a member of WP:NETPOP? Its members have done lots of GAs for meme articles and associated people, to the point where it kicks Know Your Meme up the ass. Seems to be your thing. But whatever you're doing now, you deserve it. See you later :) Carlinal (talk) 18:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carlinal LOL, thanks so much! I've been a fan of him since around his Mewtwo Sm4sh reaction, but I'd definitely say there are others who deserve that crown, probably even more than me, like the archive channels and the ones who set up his memorials (plus everyone who worked on the article from the start). I really appreciate your support too; if it weren't for you I wouldn't have even thought to trim the lead until well after the GA review started. Also, I do have some more plans for bringing other articles to GA/FA status in the near future, including more YouTubers. I think we've reached that point where the culture's been around long enough to see more GAs/FAs. I haven't officially joined the YT or IC projects yet, but I might do so soon.

Also 48JCL, thank you so much for the award! Appreciate the love! PantheonRadiance (talk) 20:00, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA

Thank you, and all who helped, today for Etika, introduced: "Desmond Amofah, better known as Etika, rose to popularity through his gaming videos, reactions, and spirited personality. However, his life took a tragic turn when he publicly underwent numerous incidents due to his struggles with mental health, leading to his suicide in June 2019. I nominated this article for three reasons.

Etika was the reason I created my Wikipedia account. When I first heard of his passing, an overwhelming mix of emotions whirled in the pool of my mind, with regret leaping for air the most. As someone who saw his unraveling in real time, all I wanted to do was change the past, but was powerless to do so – instead I focused on the future. In 2023, I brought the page to GA status as a healing process of coping with tragedy through copy-editing and typing. This year I continued my journey in hopes to bring it to FA.

If everything goes well, Etika would become the very first article of a YouTuber, and perhaps an Internet personality, to reach the coveted title. This is quite unprecedented territory in several ways, and I feel that in those same ways there couldn't be a more fitting person to wear that crown, because

His story is a compelling yet tragic tale about one's journey through fame and battles with social media and mental health. Although dealing with troubling subject material, Etika's life is one future generations deserve to know about. I wanted to do my part in honoring his life and legacy.

I'd like to thank @HappyBoi3892, Vaticidalprophet, Masem, and VARNAMi: and every other contributor to the article." - Enjoy your first TFA day! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:33, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Precious

Etika

Thank you for quality articles such as Etika (from deletion to highest quality), Alpharad, Chuggaaconroy, The Creative Gene in your pandora box, for "adding valuable knowledge that others can one day use", for "I genuinely appreciate all the advice you've given me throughout this review!" - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2940 of Precious, a prize of QAI. I meant to say so yesterday, but the day was too short ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:17, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, thank you so much for the award! Wonderful thing to receive for my 5th year anniversary. Love this community 😊❤️PantheonRadiance (talk) 06:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sharing Etika's achievement

Thank you for nominating Etika's page as a featured article and appreciating my contributions. This is a pretty big deal considering Etika's Wikipedia page has now reached the same page status as Michael Jackson and Elvis. I shared this achievement on his subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/EtikaRedditNetwork/comments/1dsst7r/etikas_wikipedia_page_was_recently_nominated_as_a/ VARNAMi (talk) 06:53, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

VARNAMi, you're welcome! And once again, thank you for all your work on the article too, and for sharing it on Reddit! Also, I left a special gift for you on your talk page :) PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:10, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using the Social Blade on Vaush's Wikipedia

I just wanted to inform you I asked about the Social Blade in Talk:Vaush#This page is due for a major overhaul about a month ago, and two other users disagreed with its usage for a few reasons. It's a pretty big discussion, so just Ctrl+F "Social Blade" if you click the link. I wasn't going to revert your edits even if I could, just wanted to tell you. Solitaire Wanderer (talk) 00:38, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I don't think you need to call the bottom reference section "Primary Sources and Videos". The videos are primary sources too. Solitaire Wanderer (talk) 00:42, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Solitaire Wanderer Oh okay, thanks for letting me know. I've been meaning to ask about it in the noticeboard, but I'll do so soon. Personally I believe Social Blade should be considered a reliable primary source for YouTube statistics, as I've seen it cited in various news outlets, and IIRC I haven't seen a prominent outlet criticize or question its reliability. If it's not reliable, I'll be okay with removing it.

Also, I figured "primary sources and videos" would imply "primary sources and primary videos" as a separation between text-based sources (his Tweets) and video sources (the Owen Jones interview), but just "primary sources" is fine. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 00:50, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Just posted the discussion, let's see how it goes. PantheonRadiance (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Smosh, you may be blocked from editing. While WP:3O may not be binding, being the one to call for one (and in a misleading way at that) and then ignore it to instead force through your preferred edits is highly bad form. I suggest you stop acting like Smosh is your own article and get consensus on talk.
